Chapter 204

Cornelia returned to the private dining room, where everyone else had already found their seats The

only spot left was the one on Marcus’s right, so she took it

As soon as she sat down, the water started serving the dishes

Everything on the menu was ordered by Cornelia, who had done her homework about Mr. and Mrs

King’s food preferences beforehand.

When Mrs. King saw some dishes from her hometown at this specialty restaurant, she couldn’t help but

take a second look at Cornelia. She complimented, “Mr. Hartley, Ms. Stewart is a thoughtful young

lady”

Marcus nodded. “Yes, she’s doing a great job”

Cornelia politely replied. “Mrs King, you’re flattering me.”

Then, out of the blue, Mrs King asked, “Mr. Hartley, who do you think is better, your wife or your

assistant?”

Cornelia was both amused and puzzled Why was she being compared to Marcus’s wife? How could

they even be compared?

Just when Cornelia was sure Marcus would say his wife was better than Ms. Stewart, Marcus’s deep

and pleasant voice rose slowly, “They each have their own strengths Both are excellent women I don’t

think we should be discussing this over dinner”

Cornelia was touched Her boss, Marcus, was a good man who never made her feel awkward in front of

others.

“You’re right, I didn’t think about that,” Mrs King, moved by Marcus’s words, didn’t feel embarrassed

Instead, she seemed even happier.

She had attended many social gatherings with Mr. King, where many men had said offensive things,

especially when talking about women. Their words were as disgusting as shit. Men who respected

women like Marcus were rare.

It would be great if all successful businessmen could be like Marcus.

Then she added, “Mr. Hartley, even though we have just met, I’m confident that you and your wife will

grow old together.”

Marcus was pleased by her words and his face lit up with joy. “Thank you for your blessings”

Everyone enjoyed the meal, and Cornelia’s thoughtful arrangements were appreciated by all.

At the end of the meal, the waiter brought over two pairs of cloth shoes, “Ladies, considering you might

be tired from walking around the scenic area in heels, we’ve prepared these for you. Would you like

them?”

Mrs. King replied, “How can we refuse your kindness?”

Since Mrs King had accepted, it would be impolite if Cornelia didn’t. She turned to Marcus for

assistance, who said, “This isn’t a formal occasion, it’s okay to dress casually”

“Thank you, Mr. Hartley!” Cornelia put on the comfortable shoes, instantly feeling relief.

Seeing the bandage on her heel, Marcus felt a pang of sympathy, “Wearing heels must be painful,

right?”

Cornelia said, “I’m used to it, it’s not too bad”

Marcus asked. “I’m considering changing the company’s dress code. Do you have any suggestions?”

Upon hearing Marcus’s question, Cornelia didn’t hesitate to propose her idea, “Could we perhaps

cancel the rule that female employees must wear high heels in less formal settings? Actually, some

lady’s shoes with a slight heel are also very nice.”

Before Cornelia could finish her sentence, Marcus agreed, “Sounds good. You can start by selecting

some suitable and comfortable styles. Once you’ve found some, let the administration department

know so they can update the dress code.”
